There are many online tools and resources available that make a web development project much easier to complete and test. Of course the website developer needs to be well versed in essential coding languages, but the following list features the tools that website developers commonly use to edit and refine their web site development projects.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Markup Validation Service and the W3C CSS Validation Service: The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is the organisation that outlines contemporary web guidelines and standards. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) validation services are essential tools in every web development project to ensure all code is compliant with the current standards. Valid code makes a website look better, increases functionality and makes a website more visible to search engines.

W3 Schools Browser Statistics: Web site development involves testing the functionality of the growing website over a variety of different web browsers. Browser statistics help website developers in determining which browsers they should optimise for. Currently the most popular web browsers are Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome, so these should be given the most consideration in a web development project.

Browser Shots: Browser shot is a website that also aids in optimising web developments for different web browsers. Sometimes the website developer won’t have eaccess to the full array of different browsers or viewing platforms, so this resource helpfully simulates a website across several viewing modes. Web development aspects such as resolution, screen resolution can also be tested using this online resource.

Password Validation Applications: There are various password validation apps available on the web for free to use in web development projects that save the developer the trouble of building a secure password validation system from scratch. Many of these will give the user a valuation of their chosen password based on its security value.
